  • Patent number: 11355758
    Abstract: A current collector for a lithium ion battery includes a first conductive resin layer and a second conductive resin layer. The first conductive resin layer includes a first conductive filler. The second conductive resin layer is formed on the first conductive resin layer and includes a second conductive filler. The first conductive filler is a conductive carbon. The second conductive filler contains at least one kind of metal element selected from the group consisting of platinum, gold, silver, copper, nickel, and titanium. A volume % of the second conductive filler in the second conductive resin layer on a first surface side, which is a first conductive resin layer side, is higher than that on the second surface side that is opposite to the first conductive resin layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220045334
    Abstract: A resin current collector is a current collector for a positive electrode of a lithium ion battery. This resin current collector includes a polyolefin resin and a conductive carbon filler. With this resin current collector, a value obtained by dividing the yield point strength in the TD (Traverse Direction) by the yield point strength in the MD (Machine Direction) is at least 0.75 and at most 1.10, and the ten-point average roughness Rz in the TD is less than 4 ?m.
